  3. Perimeter • What is the perimeter of the figure below? 33 meters 28 meters

  4. Perimeter • The race course was a 25 mile marathon. One of the sides of the course is not labeled. What would be the measurement of the side of the race course? 2 miles 2 miles 6 miles 6 miles ? miles

  5. Perimeter • An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 12 cm. What could be the measurement of each side? • Draw your triangle. Remember an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides.

  6. Area • Area is the measurement of the number of square units needed to cover a surface • Area is found by multiplying length times width or counting squares if they are available • Think of area as how much it covers like a blanket. • When asked for area think of squares.

  9. Volume • Volume is like an Ogre …it has layers. • Volume is the measure of the number of cubic units needed to fill the space occupied by a solid • Take the area and multiply it times the number of layers (height)- think of layers when you see the l in volume • Volume formula – length x width (area) x height • Count the boxes on the first layer then multiply times the number of layers • The volume of the box below is • Length – 5 cm • Width – 4 cm • Height – 2 cm
